[quote=Anonymous]Husband and I think it’s impossible now to intentionally parent your children into T20. The odds are just not worth even trying if you are white and upper middle class. Hard work and intelligence aren’t enough now. Kids with a very pointy spark get that without parental pushing; either they have it or they don’t, some special, amazing, different interests and the drive to get there. Barring that, you have zero chance of getting in, so we’ve decided it’s not worth slave driving your children throughout their childhood to almost inevitably be disappointed and have it all been not worth it. We’re fine with lower ranked schools. Due to the competition, there are going to be many more alternative, legitimate paths to success in life than ever before. I deeply believe this. We will not push.[/quote]
